Vacation cottage rentals in York

“Had such a wonderful stay at the Luxury City View Apartment, communication was excellent, apartment impeccable. So close to town and yet far enough away to have a quiet stay. Everything you could need including comfortable bedding. Would definitely book again!”

“We had a fabulous time in 1 Turks Head Court for our daughter's wedding. It was a real home from home. There was room for a dinner party and a tea party, and everyone loved the house. All our needs were met in moments from the many independent shops within 2 minutes walk. The Minster bells were ringing as we got ready for the ceremony which was lovely. Thanks to Diana and her team for helping to make our special day really special!”

“Me and my partner had the most gorgeous stay! Jo was helpful with regards to booking directly through them and made the whole process smooth. Lydia checked in with us on the day as well. The apartment was spotless and had lots of amenities which made our stay very comfortable. We stayed in the Livingstone street apartment and it was perfect for getting into central whilst having peace in the evenings.”

“We’ve stayed here before and will definitely stay again. Fantastic guests house. Very welcoming staff. The rooms are clean and have everything you need it them. We chose the full English breakfast, it was well presented, warm and tasty. The location is great and parking is just outside the guest house. You can’t knock it and the price is very reasonable for York.”

“Lovely cottages, spacious, spotlessly clean, well equipped and in a great location, and all decorated for Christmas! We loved it so much we have booked for the same weekend next year”

“Lovely place to stay! Really clean and comfortable with all the things you would need for a stay- really well equipped kitchen. Lovely basket of treats on arrival welcomed you to the cottage. The hot tub was fab and a a great way to unwind after a walk around Howard Castle! The location is great- we are non drivers so it was just a short Uber ride from York station. There was also a village centre around 10mins walk away where you’ll find two nice pubs and a mini Tesco. Would definitely recommend!”

“Such a charming place! Set in absolute piece and tranquility I loved every minute of my stay at Willoughby’s Loft at Darcys cottages. Michelle was so attentive and helped me with my train tickets so my trip was hassle free. I loved having my tea and watch the chickens running up and down the field! I would love to return x”

“If you're looking for the true English countryside experience...this is the place! So serene, peaceful & beautiful! Beds were comfy, entire place was spic & span, basic necessities, lovely bathrooms with freshly towels & ample dresser space. Loved all of the natural light coming in through the skylights.”

“Really nice holiday accommodation, smart and well equipped.”

“My wife and I had a very pleasent and comfortable stay in the New Walk Coach House. The layout is quirky, bright and spacious with excellent modern facilities and has its own courtyard space . A five minute walk along the river path leads into the picturesque city of York. The owners Roger and Sue were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We would highly recommend this accommodation and hope to return sometime in the future.”

“Excellent cottage and very welcome host”

“Stayed at County House Escape - Newly Refurbished apt in York FREE PARKING for a week 21st - 29th September. Perfect location easy 5 minute walk into the city. The apartment had everything you need and was so quiet, considering the close proximity to city centre. The secure parking was an added bonus.”

“My sister and I really enjoyed our one night stay at the Hedley House Hotel. The reception staff were friendly and very helpful with directions around York and to the Barbican (where we were attending a concert). The hotel was very comfortable, clean and tidy. Our twin room was lovely. And it was only a short walk to the train station which we discovered on our way back (a shortcut shown to us by one of Hedley House team!). We would highly recommend this hotel.”

“Absolutely beautiful apartment with stunning views of river. The apartment is furnished to a high standard throughout. Parking was also a great added bonus. We can't wait to return.”

“Attended for a biker rally. Rally was great. The venue met the meets of the rally. Mostly was a field which was great for camping. Access it's good and there are local shops.”

“We stayed at Number 16 in York during early December 2025. Excellent property with all home comforts We went as a couple but this property would suit a family easily as everything is catered for and is well equipped Highly recommended D Stroud”

“We had a lovely week with my elderly mother and farther and our dog, great location for us, out side the town centre walks and fields all around. Short drive to york and shops. The cottage 3 was clean tidy and good size for us, all on one level as mom struggles to walk far now. I am looking to rebook for my wifes birthday in november”

“The room was lovely, nice and clean, and smelled good too. Beds were low down and soft, very comfortable. The owner was really friendly and helpful. The location is great, 20 mins away from the train station, 10 minutes away from the Minster. The area was really quiet too. Wifi worked well also. Will definitely book here again next time I stay over in York.”

“Had a beautiful stay here for work. Nice cozy house which feels like a home.”
